ZMAN GAMES English New EditionAfter placing a tile that has a tower foundation, you may perform one of the four following actions:Place a Meeple...Place a Tower Floor on Foundation...Place a Tower Floor on an open Tower...Place a Meeple on an open Tower...It seems the new rules allow interactions with Towers only if a tile with a Tower Foundation is placed, while the CAR allows interactions with Towers with any Tile placement. With the new rules, I feel that there are less opportunities to capture Followers.
I came here because I noticed the exact same thing. I checked boardgamegeek.com and all the rules related posts were from the old version. I don't know if this was a conscious change, or they just forgot to put in an important sentence explaining you can add a tower any turn in which you don't place a meeple like in the old rules. I wish they would specifically mention rule changes in their manuals so we know they weren't just oversights.

The idea that you could only place a tower block in the event that you'd just placed a tile with a tower foundation on it doesn't make sense at all, and completely destroys the way this expansion is supposed to work (i.e. by following the old rules). If we assume that the new rules are correct and you can only place a tower block when you place a tower tile then the number of tower blocks should match the number of tower tiles as there would be no other opportunities to place them. I forget how many tower blocks are included now but it's 30 or 40 isn't it? It's certainly more than 18 (the number of tiles) anyway...
